Why Your Beverage Service Should Use Cups with Sleeves
We tested these cups in busy cafes and quickly noticed how sturdy they are. Regular single-wall paper cups can get soft when exposed to heat, but these sleeved cups stay strong. The extra layer of corrugated or smooth paper protects your fingers and gives you a firm grip, helping to prevent spills that weaker cups might cause.
No matter if you’re serving a hot latte or rich hot chocolate, the air pocket between the cup and sleeve works as a natural insulator. It keeps drinks at the right temperature for up to 20% longer than cups without sleeves.
Designed for a Perfect Pour
Technical details matter because they affect your costs and your customers’ experience. Our cups have a precision-rolled rim and a leak-proof bottom seal.
Feel the Benefits of Triple-Layer Protection
Whether you run a busy pop-up or a main cafe, you need supplies that can keep up. We’ve used these cups during the busiest times, and the textured sleeves really stand out. They have a non-slip grip that feels secure, even for customers wearing gloves or moving fast.
If your current cups are too hot to hold, try our ripple wall paper cups with built-in insulation. Custom sleeves are also a great option for brands that want to update their marketing or seasonal promotions without replacing all their cups.
Sustainable Branding That Doesn't Cost High
Our sleeves are made mostly from post-consumer recycled fiber. When paired with our Kraft paper cups, they create a natural look that shows you care about the environment and your coffee. This style is especially popular with organic roasters and eco-friendly events.
Frequently Asked Questions About Sleeved Paper Cups
Here are answers to the most common questions about the durability, design, and logistics of our sleeved cup collections.
Read our Custom Packaging Support & Ordering FAQs →Do the sleeves come pre-assembled on the cups?
You can choose either option, depending on your storage and how quickly you need to serve customers. Pre-assembled cups save your baristas' time during busy periods. Separate sleeves help you save space and use them only when needed.
Can I print a full-color logo on both the cup and the sleeve?
Yes, you can print a full-color logo on both the cup and the sleeve. Our printing process creates sharp graphics on the cup, and the sleeve can be printed too. This gives your brand a layered look that stands out in photos.
What size cup is most popular for specialty lattes?
Our 12 oz paper cups are the most popular choice for mid-sized drinks. They give you a good balance of espresso and milk, and they fit well with our standard heat sleeves.
Are these cups suitable for cold nitrogen brews?
These cups are made for hot drinks, but the sleeve also helps keep your hands dry when serving cold drinks. They work well for iced drinks if you want to avoid slippery cups.
Is the ink used in the branding heat-safe?
Yes, the ink is heat-safe. We use food-safe, soy-based, or water-based inks that won’t smell or peel when used with hot drinks.
Can I get a sample before placing a bulk order?
We suggest trying a sample first. You can request a sample in any size to check heat retention and print quality before placing a large order.
